Title: The WARPS survey for faint clusters of galaxies
Abstract: The wide angle Rosat pointed survey (WARPS) of clusters is based on the Rosat position sensitive proportional counter (PSPC) archive of pointed observations. It includes extended X-ray sources and point-like X-ray sources with non-stellar optical counterparts. It was designed to minimize the selection effects while covering a large area of the sky. The purposes of the survey were to measure the low luminosity, high redshift, X-ray luminosity function of clusters and groups and to investigate cluster morphologies and unusual systems.
